Bought the Nidd model a few weeks ago and tried it for the first time yesterday.
Very impressed with the quality - leather thicker than a Brooks, nice shape, metalwork seems fine.
Going to take a hell of a lot of breaking in though!
Have applied a little dubbin and a coat of proofhide just to weatherproof it, but my god it's a solid piece of kit.
Anyone put a few miles on one? Interested to know how you're getting on.
Ta.
There's a long thread on the yacf forum about them if you do a search there.
I fitted one to my road bike back in April. It is indeed a very solid piece of kit. I love it, but after the better part of 2000 miles, it still hasnt fully broken in.
Having said that, was riding 70 miles within a few weeks, with no(t too many) problems.
